The Friend was a newspaper out of Honolulu, Hawaii from 1845 to 1954. It contained quite a bit of information regarding whaling ships and even obituaries of whaling crews. In some cases the names of the deceased were not mentioned, rather just the fact the person was “a native of Guam,” and in most cases the name of the whaling ship they served as crew.
Below are some extracted samples of those obituaries exclusively from the Friend in the 1800’s. They include:
- Joseph Castro
- Marion
- George Mariana
- John Gozlina
- Silvia Alvers
- Raymond Santos
- Lewis Martinez
- Bicenta Mahone
- Sylvester Castro Zablan
- Juan Guerrero
